Sex reassignment surgery can involve all aspects of your physiology, including your face and upper body. Some transgender women are interested in fulfilling part of their physical transition with surgical procedures, such as fat grafting. In this feminization procedure, our team removes fat from an area of excess and uses it to augment and enhance another area.
How Fat Grafting can benefit you as a Transgender Woman
Fat grafting is an especially innovative procedure because it uses your own natural tissue to rejuvenate, enhance and beautify. Fat grafting may be used for:
- Reshaping facial contours
- Plumping thin lips
- Augmenting buttock shape and size
- Plumping hollow, descended cheeks
- Softening fine lines and wrinkles
While artificial materials like the ingredients used in injectables can be perfectly safe and provide great results, fat grafting has the advantage of removing some extra fat from an area like the abdomen, thighs or back.
The fat is removed with liposuction from the area of excess. Essentially to clean the fat, it is placed in a centrifuge to remove impurities, then your surgeon strategically injects the fat into the treatment area to reshape and augment the area.
As a transgender woman, you can benefit from this procedure in the same way any person can. It slims down an area of extra fat and uses that natural material to beautify another area. If you are interested in facial fat grafting, the technique can benefit you by creating a more youthful look. And if it's one of your goals, fat grafting can soften your facial shape. Some transgender women want to play down the more angular aspects of their faces. Fat grafting to the buttocks shapes the derriere into a more attractive, feminine shape.
